Finally, the long dry spell is broken! We here at TW Towers were beginning to worry that the Tea Party had finally exhausted its supply of top-drawer cheap laffs, but lo and behold, here comes this deliciously sordid item at Dlisted:

If I told you that picture was taken anywhere but L.A., you’d say, “Awww, what a sweet picture of a pepaw taking his granddaughter out for smoothies.” But that legal fetus isn’t Steven Bauer’s granddaughter, she just looks like she is.

57-year-old Steven Bauer (aka Manny the Tongue from Scarface, Don Eladio from Breaking Bad, Avi from Ray Donovan and Melanie Griffith’s second husband) has been dating 18-year-old Lyda Loudon, the leader of the Tea Party Youth Movement, for a few months and here they are leaving a restaurant in Studio City, CA yesterday. Dude probably has ass hairs that sprouted up before she was born and her face would probably turn into a giant question mark if you asked her if she’s seen Scarface...

...Fun fact: These two made their “debut as a couple” at the premiere of Woody Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight. Oh, Woody Allen, always bringing old pervs and fetuses with grandaddy issues together....>more

Mind you, as we're all hitting late middle age ourselves, the gang here at TW Towers aren't going to judge a guy Steve Bauer's age hooking up with some young stuff if he can get it -- but f'crissakes, couldn't an actor of his stature have found one with a little more grace, poise and class, not someone who looks like your standard-issue mall rat? Seriously, chick looks like she stepped on a rake. That's got to be the all-time greatest Resting Bitch Face we've ever seen. Who the hell's off-camera that's got her staring knives like that? Talk about nightmare fuel.

Needless to say, though, what attracted our attention was her being the leader of the Tea Party Youth Movement. Yeah, that's right, the leader of a whole new generation of neo-Bircher dead-enders and conspiracy cranks. Somehow, I think the Left has a little less to worry about now, knowing Little Miss Sunshine here is on top of things. Check it out for yourselves -- and, unlike our usual suggestion, we heartily encourage you to read the comments. It's pure comedy gold.

A Tea Party-backed candidate is at it again, exposing the Republicans to charges of nuttiness.

A right-wing candidate for the Senate, Dr. Milton Wolf, is
challenging the current Kansas GOP Senator Pat Roberts. Now, Wolf is
under fire after X-ray images of dead people he posted have surfaced.

The story was first reported by the Topeka Capital Journal.
In 2010, Wolf “posted a collection of gruesome X-ray images of gunshot
fatalities and medical injuries to his Facebook page and participated in
online commentary layered with macabre jokes and descriptions of
carnage,” the Journal’s Tim Carpenter reports...>more

As any of you who might follow this blog know, things have been a bit thin around here, so you can imagine our delight when our favorite auteur, James O'Keefe, hit the headlines once again. You can't keep a good man down.

The conservative guerrilla filmmaker James O'Keefe and his
organization, Project Veritas, have been sued for wrongful termination
by a former employee.

As first reported
by Slate's David Weigel, Daniel Francisco initiated the lawsuit in
Westchester County, N.Y. Supreme Court on Jan. 27. Francisco, who until
earlier this year worked as the executive director of Project Veritas,
claimed in a court filing that he had been "wrongfully terminated" by
Project Veritas, that Project Veritas had "breached its contract" with
him by not paying for his final week of employment, and that O'Keefe
personally had "defamed" him following his departure from the
organization. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a declaratory
judgment to stop O'Keefe from "further defaming" Francisco...>more

...and meanwhile, our comrade Daryle Lamont Jenkins gives us a Rogues' Gallery Update over at One People's Project:In 2012, the documentary Hating Breitbart, which attempts to
paint the then-recently departed conservative propagandist Andrew
Breitbart as some persecuted enemy of the left – which he was – who was
merely getting the truth out about them – which he wasn't, was released.
Ultimately Breitbart died as nothing more than someone who was trying
to cover up the racial crimes of his conservative cohorts, and he did
it with flimsy evidence and his infamous temper tantrums whenever
someone showed him up. We bring up the documentary because in it was a
little bit of a milestone – Breitbart protege James O'Keefe saying the
first words he has ever said about the fact that he participated in an
Arlington, VA white supremacist forum put together by the Robert A. Taft
Club in 2006.

In
one segment, the documentary zeroes in on political writer Max
Blumenthal for authoring a story for Salon.com where he notes O'Keefe
attending this conference where the panelists were American Renaissance
editor Jared Taylor then-National Review Online writer John Derbyshire, who in 2012 was fired from that position after
a racist article he had written in the wake of the Trayvon Martin
shooting, and Project 21 member Kevin Martin, a black conservative who
was not announced until a few days before the event. "Blumenthal said
that because I was at a debate where this racist guy was debating this
black guy, because I was present...then he went on to say how I
organized the debate, blah, blah, blah. It's all false,” O'Keefe says in
the segment just before they cut to the argument Breitbart and his
Breitbart.com associate Larry O'Connor had with Blumenthal at the 2010
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). "And Breitbart went
after him and say, 'Why did you lie?'"

The entire situation was a lesson in how mainstream conservatives
will act when they are caught engaging in their racist activism. It was
not Blumenthal that was lying, it was the Breitbart crowd that
orchestrated a narrative that O'Keefe was just some unknowing
participant in the event where he shook Kevin Martin's hand afterwards
saying he did not agree with the other two persons on the panel. But
when something is a narrative that means what is being said will be the
real lie, and the reason why we at One People's Project in particular
know its a lie is because it wasn't Blumenthal who broke the story. We did.
We were at the conference as well, and we took pictures of everyone
that attended. One of those pictures happened to be of O'Keefe with
Taylor in the background (foto above left)...>more

And now, it's movie time!

Here's O'Keefe's late homie Andrew Breitbart in a montage of classic meltdowns including CPAC 2010:

And, here are edited highlights of the "Majority Strategy" event at the National Press Club in September 2011. Jared Taylor is the final speaker in the video:

Americans for Prosperity is up with a new ad ripping Senator Landrieu over Obamacare. It features a number of people lamenting lost coverage and higher premiums. But as ABC News reports, all those folks were actors.

In short, Americans for Prosperity is up with a major TV ad buy
featuring fake victims of Obamacare, while planning a major lobbying
effort to block Obamacare’s benefits from reaching untold numbers of
real people... >more

Peter Hart writes at FAIR Blog:
During his interview with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney (11/3/13), NBC Meet the Press host David Gregory offered up this fanciful account of the Tea Party movement's origins during a discussion about internal GOP fights:

Look, the reason there is a Tea Party right now goes back to
President Bush. I actually think it goes back to the beginning of a more
robust security state after 9/11; the government expands to deal with
security. There's also Medicare Part D. There's a lot of government
spending, and then there's ultimately the bailouts, which conservatives
start to rebel against. And then President Obama continues that.

This is the kind of rhetoric Tea Party figures like to trot out when
critics note that a movement that claims to be concerned about
government spending was sure quiet (or nonexistent) during the Bush
years... >more

Libertarian activist and radio host, Adam Kokesh plans to lead an armed march on Washington, D.C. this Independence Day.

Launched as a group on Facebook, the "Open Carry March on Washington" hopes to get 1,000 supporters to march into the nation's capital with loaded rifles.

The group plans to meet at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
From there, they will march across the Memorial Bridge into Washington,
D.C. and continue down Independence Avenue.

While Virginia permits open carry, Washington, D.C. does not issue any permit/licenses to carry a firearm.

The Facebook page states: "This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We
will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the
government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in
submission to tyranny."

The event is said to be non-violent and states that if the group is met with physical resistance, they will turn back.

...in other words, they will, in fact, be intimidated.

Now, here's a blast from your past: the "Alarm And Muster" event at the Washington Monument and Gravelly Point State Park, Virginia, on April 19, 2010:
